Strange days indeed: Reason Magazine advocating a federally-issued biometric ID card.<p>I suspect that the body-scans and frisky-frisks are just door #1 and door #1 in a grand plan to get people to enthusiastically adopt (as yet unannounced but coming soon) door #3, national biometric ID cards and/or an official federal 'risk rank' per person, that would be based on background checks or even 'Total Information Awareness'-style data mining.
